It was pretty terrible.
Hawkeye does in fact take cover behind a car at one point. There was also that awesome moment where he runs out of arrows and pulls one from a corpse to escape.
Pirates 3 suffered from Matrix Revolutions syndrome (not talking quality wise) but the spacing between the release dates of the two movies. Besides that I dont remember Pirates 3 being marketed as the final chapter by Disney.
TDKR getting more than the TDK OW is more probable than TDK's final gross.

Thats what I meant, the LOL was to iterate that TDKR has literally no competition compared to Avengers. Take this weekend off you need it lol. everything is not sarcasm on GAF
My audience had a delayed reaction to the
line. It took a second to dawn on everybody what the connection was. I think everybody but me missed the
line. I burst into laughter, but I was the only one in the whole theater.
Near the end of the movie
The 3D is OK, but it's pretty obvious that the film wasn't shot with it in mind. I can think of only one shot that really takes advantage of it. There's not a lot of depth at any point though.
Point Break
Galaga
Near the end of the movie
when Cap is giving out orders, he tells Hawkeye to take a spot on top of a nearby building and call out enemy positions, then tells Iron Man to give him a lift. Tony quips "clench up Legolas" as he grabs Hawkeye and blasts off.

None of the MS movies have been shot in 3D so far, so I don't suspect they will start any time soon.
I see your point. And I specifically meant the fact that people seem to think TDKR is a lock for the OW record. If the Avengers opened at 150M, I probably would have agreed, since I do think that TDKR will increase over TDK's opening. However, the closer the Avengers gets to 200M, the less certain I am that TDKR is a lock to surpass it. Both films have IMAX business helping out, but the Avengers will be getting an extra $3 surcharge on at least half of the tickets sold this weekend. That is a lot of extra tickets for TDKR to sell to make up that difference.
When I saw it, most people missed the
Galaga line, but they exploded into laughter later when the guy just went right back to playing the game.

It's a bit long, but it's worth every second. It says a lot about John Peters.
The amazing thing about that video nowadays is that we have The Avengers today. Nowadays, it's actually possible to make a movie where everyone involved in the process fucking loves comic books- I'm sure the process of how The Avengers got made is the exact opposite of why Kevin Smith/Tim Burton's Superman movie got shitcanned.
Oh, my bad. Seemed like you were saying the complete opposite and I was thinking ".....what?"

Agreed.

Bane is creating chaos for a purpose of finishing the job from BB. Joker is someone who was doing it for fun and got easily caught...twice. Bane destroys Batman and Gotham when they try to capture him. That is the difference.
Funny, I can't tell any of that from the trailers.

We really did dodge a bullet with the Tim Burton batman, and if Kevin Smiths story is right, he wasn't the issue when he was on the project.
While he'd make a horrible director for it, I'd love to see Kevin Smith get a few comic scripts that allowed him to do whatever.
Wait, was he being serious?

This better be your guess.....
I've seen similar things said by others in TDKR's thread, unspoilered
So either its a) people being dicks and spoiling shit, or b) a lot of people sharing the same opinion of what the movie will be.....

Oh yeah, I'm sure a Kevin Smith comic film would work great nowadays- just as I'm sure a Joss Whedon comic film back then would have gone through similar fuck-ups.
Just so long as it doesn't involve the lead hero peeing himself.

I've been trying to avoid that thread these days myself. I pop in sometimes and scroll through a few posts before I step out. Is it really bad?

Sounds like Knightfall from the comic books. Maybe that is what they are all basing this on.
Well, I am completely spoiler-free, so it's hard to tell, but I've seen an awful lot of posts recently that appear to be spoilers-under-the-guise-of-being-opinions. But obviously I could be wrong.
Please tell me this is your assumption.
I don't get all the complaints about "they didn't seem like they were in danger".
Um, it's the first in a series of super hero team ups. They aren't going to kill the super heroes. That shouldn't be held against the movie. The heroes in every movie almost never die unless they don't intend to make any more movies.
Besides, Thor and Hulk are supposed to be basically invincible.

It looks like half-opinion, half-misinterpretation to me :lol
I thought the TDKR threads had spoilers flying all over the place. It's the reason why I bailed out on the first one after being a regular poster.

The TDKR thread is a minefield of shitty puns and spoilers.

Did anyone actually shell out 20 bucks to see the Avengers in D-box 3d?

Not sure what d box is, but I saw it in imax 3d. Don't regret it
I hope this is the case. It would be a dick move to spoil an upcoming movie in an unrelated thread.
Sure.
In the comics there was a huge event in the early 90s called Infinity Gauntlet. It was a major crossover across all the Marvel comics, and it was about how Thanos, a space titan, basically gets his hands on the most powerful thing in the galaxy and he proceeds to fuck up every single person who tries to stop him. Cosmic proportions.

D-box are the force feedback chairs that have the sound and rumble built into them. I would never spend that kind of money but was curious if anyone tried it out for a movie as explosion heavy as Avengers.
How is he defeated?
Don't they also shoot water at you? Or is that only the ones they have at theme parks and stuff?
Super duper deus ex machina. Terrible writing imo.
It's $19 for IMAX where I live so $20 does not sound that crazy.

I'm excited for A2 just to see them write a Thanos story that doesn't end in a super dumb fashion.
